The Kensington Comfort Type Wireless Optical Desktop sits squarely in the unusual middle ground between split and standard keyboards. The keypad looks like an optical illusion: The right-hand keys are slanted to the left, and the left-hand keys are slanted to the right. This design lets your wrists approach the keys from a more natural angle than with a straight keyboard. On the upside, the Comfort Type keyboard is easy to learn to use, since the key map is so close to conventional. Multimedia buttons adorn the top ridge (playback controls and Web navigation and applications shortcuts), but the buttons are made of a metal knockoff that screams "cheap plastic." The mouse has an optical sensor and performs well for both business uses and light gaming.
